How deep is the lip up front? I am trying to make sure they are going to match up with my american muscle 18x10s I got on the back.

Coincidence. I was just comparing the AR Torq-thrust M's to the FR Bullitts and they look different. The American Racing's are atop.

the ford racing bullets are really a good example, they don't even have a lip on them. and the AR Torq Thrust M's are similar to the aftermarket bullets, but unless you have them both side by side, it will be difficult to tell if they match perfect.

official style, i see you are selling some torq thrust II's? why don't you just keep them and not use bullets? i think those look better anyway...just my opinion though...

i want chrome, and to chrome them was big money, because they are 2 piece, and had to have the lip welded, before they could be chromed. i would rather the torq thrusts.

tirerack is saying they don't think they will be the same. this is so frustrating, im getting ready to just drop the 1200 and chrome out the TT IIs. they said the ford bullitt caps prob. wont fit the shelby rims. if these discount tire rims dont fit, im going to a. kill someone and b. probably chrome out the torq thrusts.

Don't chrome your wheels. Sell them...no matter how long it takes. Then use the money to off set your new wheels.

you can't get the custom 18's in Chrome...I tried Was the first one on this site to get the TT II's and all they offered was the outside rim in chrome, which I think sucks

for one, you shouldn't be using a "Deep Dish" 18x9 for fronts but standard will do.
Deep dish only looks go for REARS

Well this may get interesting as your top picture is a TMS member's car, VegasJay.

I wouldn't have deepdish front or rear. I like the look of the standard all the way around.
